William Lindesay

"No matter where you stand on the Wall, no matter how high, or how clear the visibility is, there's always more beyond you, behind you and before."

William has spent more than 800 days on the Great Wall during his many years in China, in that time completing "the most successful foreign exploration of the Great Wall" according to China's Xinhua News Agency. The British researcher has conducted extensive surveys on the Beijing portion of the Great Wall, publishing three books on the subject. In his spearheading efforts to protect this wonder of the world, William has founded societies and programs that engage in Great Wall conservation.
